I have yet to play Zelda, but being brown can't be a serious criticism of a game - RE4 was played mostly in brown for the first ten hours and looked great. So there.

I am so slow at gaming. Or crap.

I'm about fourteen hours in and have just got to the president's daughter.

Well, I'm glad you didn't. Rant or no, it's always good to read your thoughts and you've only succeeding in my desire to play Zelda increasing tenfold (it's already at 10qudrabagillion, if only there were any Wii's in stock...).

It's a fucking God-send to read this: "Twilight Princess proves that a talented artist can ..." Just that bit of the sentence, nothing else. That's it; a talented artist can anything. I'm not sure I actually believe that someone has finally twigged as to what *really* can make a game great: talent. Fuck everything else.

Does 4 player Tennis really work well as thinking about buying 2 extra remotes for a family game round at my parents Xmas day...

The only downside I can think of is that you'll need a stadium for the 4 players to swing around without danger of injury.

Yeah, it's miles better than 2 player tennis

We had a load of fun with it at our Wii party, so much so that I've just ordered 2 controllers for this very purpose

Now to get some more rechargeable batteries - I'm through the included ones already, and about half way through a pair of cheepo ones!

Cheers

Thanks - anyone suggest where I can get them before Xmas ?

I ordered mine from Playasia and are just hoping they turn up for some time over the holiday period! Might be worth checking the likes of Asda / Tesco and seeing if they are expecting an additional delivery.

Cheers

Oh and another thing, how does everyone else play two player tennis? I prefer to play with a bot rather than two of Mii simply because I find it a convenient get out clause - if you miss, blame the cunting bot

That and flailing two Miis about seems a bit confusing.

Managed to beat my high score on bowling too, although nowhere near Sickers!

I play with two of Mii - that way I can lure the computer over to one side and then use the front mii to get the ball on the other side of the court fast.

Just out of curiosity how much harder does it get when you reach pro? I've only had 3 or 4 single player games and never really get in danger of losing a point unless you try something flashy. Rallies look like they could go on forever if you wanted them to.

What's a decent score then? I've only just broken 200 (can't remember the exact total)

Isn't it possible simply to play one on one? It's bloody annoying if you are forced to include another Mii on your team every time you play.
